life after galbladder removal

What medication has she been on? Could it be sphincter of oddi dysfunction.  most people with gall stones develop this dysfunction even after gall surgery. I have been battling severe pains since after my surgery and the doctors think its SOD.

How and why the doctor said this is a regular pain after the surgery? You said the surgery is done few years ago, so not pain should be there if the gallbladder is removed  completely and also if your mother followed the low fat diet.

Generally, before the surgery,  the surgeons claim that no side effect is imaginable in this surgery and just a few of them say the low fat diet is a must but all is lie and the side effect of gallbladder removal is a real story after Cholecystectomy

 The best solution now is applying for a MRCP to see if there is any thing remain in abdomen while Cholecystectomy if you are sure your mother respect low fat diet or in real wording, no fat diet.

Always keep in mind that gallstones removal is the best solution if the gallbladder is ok.

I have suffered the same pain. it is like spasms. I asked my gastro-doctor about this. He said could be adhesions ( which I am apt to grow) or some fat on the liver. i go back in 3 weeks to him and will further discuss what can be done if anything. I will let you know.

Hi, I feel for your mum and know the frustration she must feel.  My GB was removed in January after years of misdiagnosis and a great mass in their.  I still get a similar pain but the attacks have been worse, excruciating stabbing in the URQ, been hospitalised four times since the surgery!  About three months ago I was told that they we're waiting for the sludge in the bile duct to form a stone and referred to the chronic pain clinic, the bike duct was dilated and LFT  were still out.  At the appointment two weeks ago I was told that the endoscopy had shown Gastritis, no one told me that!  He took me off Omeprazole, Tramadol, Naproxen and Amitriptyline and advised I buy Gaviacon!  Another attack on Saturday floored me again, hot baths and drugs finally calmed made it bearable. 

Today I visited the chronic pain clinic, the Consultant could not understand the drs, she examined me and is writing to tge GB consultant with her findings. Enlarged ducts and constantly one of the LFTs are out, she states their is a blockage and scans can't always show it. She's worried that masking the pain could leave to bigger problems, she prescribed Nortriptyline to help with pain at night, I'm fed up with having black eyes lol, so that's good. 

Anyway had a similar experience?

their seems to be so many people with post cholysysectomy problems, she advised to write a diary as this can be helpful to consultants!

A diary is a great idea. I am so sorry you are having such suffering.  I was afaid I was in for that as I have had several sessions of clenching pain like a gb attack but no vomiting.  I am feeling better eating small meals before I get very hungry.  Best of health to you.  I hope they can figure out what is making your liver so cranky! Did they suggest eating less meat? or drinking 4 oz of red wine each day? My new GI suggested that.
